Not making a reservation well in advance makes lucking into an extraordinarily good dining experience all the more special. It happened for our party of 4 when we struck out at three places after delaying our attempt at a reservation on a Saturday night and ended up in a place we all emerged convinced gave us a dining experience as good or better than any of the ones we could not get a table at could have provided.
The menu is brief but brilliant. Each dish was wonderously prepared and presented. The staff was attentive and had a command and confidence about the food and beverages they served.
We had Arctic Char, duck, beef and scallops. Each entre was outstanding and was complimented with perfectly seasoned and perpared an accompanied by just the right vegetable and starch.
The wine selection was quite good and the somelier guided us expertly in choosing surprisingly good, relatively inexpensive wine to go along with what we ordered.
In a city with a multitude of fine restaurants, you will be hard pressed to find one more rewarding than Laloux!
